CE Certificate: Mindfulness Studies

Looking for a way to help alleviate stress and worry in your life? Increase your happiness, mental clarity or concentration? Or maybe you are looking to improve your physical and mental well-being? Then our Mindfulness Studies certificate may be just right for you. Participants in this program will study the history, theory and practice of mindfulness. Group discussion is highly encouraged and classes offer periods for core mindfulness practices including: meditations, body scans, mindful eating and mindful movement.

Employment Equity Myths & Realities

"It is not that individuals in the designated groups are inherently unable to achieve equality on their own, it is that the obstacles in their way are so formidable and self-perpetuating that they cannot be overcome without intervention. It is both intolerable and insensitive if we simply wait and hope that the barriers will disappear with time. Equality in employment will not happen unless we make it happen."

Judge Rosalie Silberman Abella Royal Commission on Equality in Employment, 1985

howTo.write(poetry)

howTo.write(poetry) brings together two artworks by Mitchell F. Chan and Michelle Gay that deeply engage with historical texts. Each artist communes with another author’s writing through a computational translation of the original. Chan rewrites conceptual artist Sol Lewitt’s instructions for a wall drawing using Processing code while Gay employs automated machine translation to subtly alter the surviving text fragments of Greek philosopher Parmenides. Both pieces are poetic systems in the ancient Greek understanding of poiesis, meaning creation or formation.

Update Regarding Planning and Corporate Services

In an effort to ensure alignment of services and to meet our ongoing commitment to service excellence, I would like to inform you of two organizational changes being made within the Planning and Corporate Services Division. Parking and Transportation Services will be joining the Capital Development and Facilities Management Department, under the leadership of Angelo Presta. This change further enhances and integrates parking and sustainability/transportation services to meet the campus development needs of the College while streamlining service delivery.
